To all whom z't may concern Be it known that I, DIEU DONNE JoDoIN,

' a citizen of the United States,'residing at Plainfield, in the countyv of Windham and 4State of Connecticut, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Picker-Checks for Looms, of which the followingv is a specification. f This invention relates to picker checks for looms. l

Some of the objects of the present invention are: lto produce a comparatively more thoroughly eiicientvand serviceable device; to render the device more susceptible to repair. WithY these andother objects in view the invention `resides in the particular provision ofparts and the manner of their association, hereinaftermore fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Referring now more'particularlyito the several views ofthe drawing for details, itl will be manifest that the device includes au pair of brackets 10 each of which embodies The brackets 10 vare atlation. Thebrackets arearranged approximately at theendof the stroke of the pickerstick 13 at or near theV shuttle-box of the loom. A rod 14 is slidably supported by the I bearings 11, 11 of each of the brackets 10.

Y The ends of the rods 14 are screw threaded as at 18 to accommodate the nuts 17,717. M In order that the check-member 15 Vmay stops 2O `in the desired positions ofadjust' ment on the rods. The springs 19 surround the rods 14. Each spring 19 is disposed be-v Patented Ang. V9, 1921; Application inea April 22, 1921. serial No.` 463,536. y

From the foregoing it will be manifest that i i the checlr-mernber 15 is detachably and adjustably connected to the rods 14thus allowing such part to be readily replaced as mayk be necessary; that by adjusting the stops 20, the tension of the springs 19 may be varied for the obtainment of the proper and desired working action ofthe device.

' What is claimed is: A device as characterized support, a pair of brackets attachedtovv said support in spaced relation to each other and having bearings, rods slidably mountedxinl` Vthe bearings of said brackets, a check-mem-l ber detachably"connecting the rods and adjustable thereon,and check-niember tensioningmeans including adjustable stops on said including a rods` and springs between the vstops and a bearingk of each'bracketrespectively s In testimony whereof I hereby aiiix my signature. f
